Tsavo Holidays

One of the world’s largest national park wildernesses

Boasting spectacular varied landscapes and abundant wildlife, Kenya's largest national park is divided into Tsavo East and Tsavo West. Explore Tsavo West's rugged terrain and perhaps visit the underwater viewing chamber at Mzima Springs, source of much of Mombasa's water supply and often frequented by hippos and crocodiles. Venture deep into the park and you may not encounter another vehicle all day. In contrast, Tsavo East's vast expanse of open savannah offers the opportunity to see impressive herds of elephants and spot magnificent lions. Easily combinable with a beach stay in Mombasa.

Take a bush walk with a Maasai naturalist in Tsavo

Join a guided bush walk to get up close to Tsavo’s nature and wildlife with a Maasai naturalist. Along the way you will be given a unique insight into the native flora and fauna and taught about the local  culture. The bush walk is completely different from a game drive because you’re on your feet and really immersed in the landscape.

The bush walks take place in the late afternoon and the length is tailored to suit each group’s preference. Guests usually enjoy sundowners afterwards with beautiful views over the plains. During the walk, you’ll stop to learn about the indigenous trees and plants the Maasai people use, often for medicine or to dye their clothes. You'll be helped to identify animal footprints. If it’s rainy season, you’ll also see colourful flowers in bloom.

There’s plenty of wildlife to spot, including crocodiles and hippos by the Sante River. You'll also be accompanied by a security guard. There are often elephants around camp and diverse bird species, including rare water thick-knees.
